Dorval

Located at the junctions of Autoroute 20 and Cote de Liesse Dorval is
interconnected with a major West Island bus terminal and also VIA Rail
Canada's Dorval station. Bus connections can be made to many West Island
routes as well as trains for Ottawa and Toronto. Dorval International
Airport is five minutes away by car.

There are two tracks at Dorval although there is sufficient width in
the south platform to add a third track (making the centre a pass through
track) and to the west is the connecting track to the CN. The connecting
track used to be just to the east and was used for many years by the CN
and CP pool trains to Toronto.

From an operational point of view Dorval used to be the point where
trains moved from the Centralized Traffic Control used in the Montreal
Terminal Zone to a combination of Automatic Block Signalling and Occupancy
Control System. That changed in early 2014 when CTC was installed between
Dorval and Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. CTC had previously been installed
between Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue and Dorion.
